Desperate for assistance, she reaches out to a close acquaintance, who happens to be a lawyer with ties to both Gloria and Denis. In an attempt to gain an advantage, Gloria contemplates bribing Jenny, her husband's mistress.

However, the situation takes a sinister turn when Jenny is discovered murdered, her lifeless body found floating in the Seine river.
